It's all good...
I was reading the Sun the other Friday, and was quite surprised to see that they'd written a review for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure in the Video Game section.
Unfortunately I don't have the newspaper anymore, but the review was pretty good. They gave the game a 5/5 (I think - if not a 4) praising the fun gameplay and appeal to children.
So to all of the people that were convinced this game was going to be a flop before it was even released... I think we might be onto something here. 
Donate gems to me, biatch, and I give you cuddles.

Re: It's all good...
I think it will be great, but look at all the hype for Duke Nukem.
Yo, Spyro
I'm really happy for you, but Jazz Jackrabbit is one of the best platformers of all time.
OF ALL TIME!

Re: It's all good...
Honestly, the only review I really care about is my own.
So, yeah, coming this Fall...

Re: It's all good...
On a side note, IGN said in their ETD review that Spyro's classic formula had to go. They were so harsh...
And to think that Gamespot gave it a lower score.
I'm a secret duck who lives in the glitchy but nice Honey Marshes. My day to day job is to spy on the blue guys so they won't get up to much mischief.

Re: It's all good...
regardless of your opinions of this game, don't ever go by reviewers. i never turn to reviewers for anything, not even the music reviews on Metal-Archives (unless i'm really curious, like, an album getting a score of 0 out of 100, hehe) because you just don't know where the person's coming from. each person's gonna have their opinion/take on things, and they're all different opinions/takes even though they're all dealing with the same thing, whether it's a video game, CD, book, anything.
a professional can point out every flaw in this game when it's released and make it look like a pile of crap, and it still won't make me any more right as far as i'm concerned. if you want to spend the money and you have high hopes for this, get it yourself and form your own opinions.
just how i see things.
but some advice: just in case, try to be sure that the store you go to gives good refunds. remember, this thing's $70. i don't want to see anyone dissatisfied with something and then have $70 down the drain yet.

Re: It's all good...
I wasn't even complaining about the haters, Stormy... <.< I was just saying that the fans who have said that Skylanders will suck and have ranted on about it will be surprised if the game succeeds. I wasn't even ranting about them or anything.

Re: It's all good...
I think I'd be more willing to buy the individual toys if a T-shirt came with the toys for a total of $20.
Yo, Spyro
I'm really happy for you, but Jazz Jackrabbit is one of the best platformers of all time.
OF ALL TIME!

Re: It's all good...
Well, when I say that I'm including the toys that come with the game. $60 is expensive enough for a new game, why make me pay ten bucks more?
Also, what's wrong with having to play the game and accomplish difficult tasks in order to get a new character? I miss those days.
I've got no problems with toys for games, just make them merchandise, nothing more. At the very most make them unlock something trivial, like a hat or something.

Re: It's all good...
You would want to buy something to get a hat? I'll stick with the new character thanks.
